Get ready for some scares. Here is the short film, Mama which is now a feature film by producer Guillermo del Toro and director Andres Muschietti slated to be released in January of 2013. So turn of the lights, put your head phones on and be sure to take a look at this little gem before watching the feature for a taste of things to come!
So I was bored one night and decided to pay homage to one of my fav shows on TV right now, American Horror Story. Been wanting to do this one for a little while and just used whatever I had laying around the apartment. I even pulled out some goodies from my Halloween box to use for this video. I’m pretty satisfied with how it came out even though I wanted to do more with it. But hey, it was all shot in one night and edited in one day, not too shabby if I may say so myself!

Popcorn Horror, is the brain child of Felix Gilfedder an independent filmmaker from Glasgow, Scotland. Making his first films after picking up his fathers Super 8mm Cassette camera at the age of 8, there was no going back. From there via a Masters in History, a stint at Sydney University doing Digital Film, traveling the world, making 10 independent short films and a few film awards he decided to try and blend his love of films, horror and technology on the mobile phone platform – an app that would be empowering to filmmakers, an app deserving of horror fans and an app that would change and grow with it’s audience.
Being Latino myself, I’m a fan of the Latin horror-based website given that there are not many sites like it. Thanks to Edwin Pagan that is no longer the case.
The Latino and Spanish communities have a lot to offer in terms of horror and the macabre and what better place to showcase those various attributes and provide coverage than Latin Horror. Continue reading »
He’s a hitman and a vampire, and he just found out his mother-in-law is moving in for eternity.
Got your attention yet? Good, because this catchy title is what first intrigued me into taking a further look into the webseries that is the Vampire Mob. Created by writer/director Joe Wilson, Vampire Mob is a unique blend of crime and comedy of the intelligent kind. No slapstick here, but genuine laughs provided by Wilson’s smart and witty scriptwriting.
It was by mere coincidence that I stumbled onto the Zombie Puppets project. It started with a link and a click of the mouse and I saw, what I considered, a brief and very intriguing piece of work that resulted in a plethora of mixed emotions– not to me of course but to my nieces and nephews who sat beside me, eagerly awaiting to see some of their favorite Muppet characters. What culminated were tears, frantic screaming from both the kids and their panicking parents. Eyeballs were gouged, my sisters-in-law puked on one another and my wife slapped the back of my head as she shook her head in disappointment. It was madness! I was shunned and vowed to never be allowed to watch over the kids again!
OK, so maybe that didn’t happen and I was, sadly (luckily?), alone in front of my computer monitor watching the zombie animated short film entitled, Burn Big Bird, Burn! As the film fades in from black, we hear the soft, soothing tune of what sounds like something that was made for the sole purpose of putting a newborn to bed immediately followed by the ghastly image of the beloved Big Bird running through a back alley of Sesame Street in agonizing pain as he is set ablaze, engulfed in flames and chased by a horde of zombie puppets. If that’s not awesome, I don’t know what is!
They scoured the wandering crowd as they walked to and fro across the boardwalk, paying little to no attention to the birds. Scores of children pointed to a roller-coaster in the distance as it reached its peak some hundred feet above the ground before sliding down the steep decline that was sure to intimidate the bravest of souls.
Who can refuse a good, independent horror short? Especially one that is coming from fellow horror bud Joe Lopez of The TerrorScribe Blog and TerrorScribe Mafia Films. To boot, it is shot in black and white and is inspired by horror author H.P. Lovecraft. “Annotated” is an official selection of the 2011 Unnameable Blood Bath Film Festival. View the trailer below:
